    Its quite plain to see that reweird is very upset with you for mentioning the rent boy thing, just apologise to him as it has clearly hit a nerve:)

    I think the phrases you are searching for are "repressed sexuality" and "humour bypass" :D

    I'm personally horrified by the number of people who have wasted serious amount of money on rent, especially those over £100K.

    I think it's time the government made the playing of Monopoly a mandatory subject to instill good housing values in our citizens.

    Obviously it would have to be a modern version of Monopoly, where the price of Mayfair trebles by the time you get half way around the board.

    It is astonishing especially when you think that for the 100k they could have picked up a starter flat and got their first crucial foot on the ladder. Not sure where the blame lies but most likely somewhere in todays education system.

    I'd only have an issue with my education if I had to rely on a manual labour job to earn a living.
